Moon watch outside over the summer months

There’s something incredibly magical about spending summer nights under the stars, especially when you’re with your kids. Moon watching becomes a treasured ritual, where curiosity and wonder blend seamlessly with the warmth of the season.

Each night offers a new view—the moon’s phases casting different shadows and illuminating our world in silvery light. It’s a perfect time to teach your children about astronomy, share stories, and create lasting memories.

Gather a cozy blanket, some snacks, and perhaps a telescope, and enjoy the serene beauty of the moonlit sky together.

Create a silly story about the man on the moon

Encourage the kids to channel their inner-creativity and create a fun story about the man on the moon. This is something that they’ll love to do – and have fun doing! Here is an example of one that I just made up:

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived on the moon. He wasn’t just any ordinary man—he wore a space suit made entirely of cheese! Every day, he would hop from crater to crater, sharing jokes with the stars and playing hide-and-seek with the comets.

One day, he found a magic moon rock that turned his laughter into stardust, which he spread across the night sky. The twinkling stars you see today are thanks to his endless giggles!
